Putting sustainability to the forefront, The Apurva Kempinski Bali is thrilled to announce the launch of its new sustainable menu, “Locaflair,” featuring an array of fresh ingredients sourced directly from its very own hydroponic garden. This ground-breaking culinary initiative reaffirms the resort’s dedication to sustainability and showcases its unwavering commitment to providing guests with unique dining experiences that are not only flavourful but also environmentally responsible.

Koral Restaurant takes center stage in the Locaflair menu, where each course celebrates seasonal flavors, utilizing hand-picked ingredients from the resort’s hydroponic garden. The talented chefs at Koral harness the abundance of locally-sourced products and freshly-picked ingredients to craft dishes that are both inventive and delectable. The menu is thoughtfully curated to showcase the natural flavors and textures of the garden-fresh ingredients, resulting in an exquisite dining experience that intertwines culinary artistry with environmental consciousness.

By forging strong partnerships with local farmers, fishermen, and artisans, The Apurva Kempinski Bali ensures that the Locaflair menu utilizes the highest quality ingredients. This commitment not only supports local economies but also reduces transport emissions, guaranteeing guests the freshest and most flavorful products. In line with their sustainable approach, the resort meticulously curates a selection of seafood dishes sourced from certified suppliers dedicated to sustainable fishing practices, allowing guests to savor seafood delicacies without compromising environmental integrity.

Embracing a comprehensive waste reduction strategy, the resort implements precise portion control, creative techniques to repurpose all parts of the ingredients, and an award-winning composting and recycling program. Through effective waste separation and composting processes, organic waste is transformed into nutrient-rich compost, enriching the resort’s hydroponic garden.

The Locaflair menu at The Apurva Kempinski Bali embodies a harmonious blend of culinary creativity, sustainable practices, and an unwavering commitment to providing guests with a truly exceptional dining experience. By embracing local sourcing, innovative techniques, and environmental stewardship, this culinary masterpiece invites guests to embark on a gastronomic journey that leaves a lasting impression on both their palates and the planet.

To celebrate this significant milestone, The Apurva Kempinski Bali hosted an intimate event that combined the unveiling of the menu with an inspiring sustainability talk show, fostering dialogue and awareness about the importance of sustainable practices in the hospitality industry. The exclusive event brought together esteemed guests, renowned sustainability experts and culinary enthusiasts passionate about creating a positive impact on the planet.

The evening commenced with an eco-green décor beautifully crafted by Designmill.Co followed by a reception, allowing attendees to experience a selection from the sustainable menu curated by Koral Restaurant’s culinary team. Following the reception, the resort organized a thought-provoking sustainability talk show featuring prominent sustainability advocates and experts, These included the resort’s partners for its 2024 campaign of Powerful Indonesia, such as Bank Central Asia, Nissan Indonesia, Samsara Living Museum, Balian Water, Hatten Wines, Taga Woods, Dr. Lawrence Blair, Ari Bayuaji, and Alistair Speirs. The engaging discussion explored topics such as sustainability in the tourism industry that covered culture preservation, local entrepreneurs’ encouragement, inclusiveness, and wellness adoption – inspiring attendees to take proactive steps towards a more sustainable future.

Traditional music performance resonated throughout the evening, taking guests on a journey across Indonesia through Gondang Batak from North Sumatra, Angklung from West Java, Rindik and Genjek from Bali, and Kolintang from North Sulawesi.

“It is an exciting moment for us being able to collaborate with powerful partners and share these evolving initiatives with our team members. We recognize that our sustainability objectives can only be accomplished through continuous adaptation and the collective efforts of our dedicated team. As we strive to inspire others within the hospitality industry, we aspire to be committed to sustainable practices that generate positive impacts on both the environment and society. Only together we can reach a new height of fulfillment to foster a sustainable future,” said Vincent Guironnet, the General Manager of The Apurva Kempinski Bali.

The Apurva Kempinski Bali’s commitment to sustainability extends beyond its culinary offerings, encompassing all aspects of its operations. Last year, this resort launched its innovative Sustainable Wedding Package together with other Indonesia sustainable corporations. In partnership with key-minded partners, this year, this majestic resort runs a Sustainable Agriculture program, incorporating electric vehicles as part of its unique guest experience.
